Speaking at Nasdaq’s 35th Investor Program, Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said the company would not have a new Battlefield game for “a couple of years,” opting to focus on a new Star Wars Battlefront. The Battlefield series has released titles with wider gaps in recent years.

Battlefield 1 has received new game modes in time for the week long Battlefest. The best is Fog of War, a match type that provides a tense experience by keeping things a little more up close and personal.

Fans curious about the history behind Battlefield 1's stories are in for a treat. YouTube channel Games of History released a longform video essay discussing the game in full. They talk about the truth and lies found throughout the game’s exciting campaign.

Former designers from the Battlefield series are looking to try something a little different. In Project Wight, players control an intelligent monster whose kind has been driven to near extinction by humanity.

Here’s a nightmare I’ve actually had: I’m a soldier in a war, and no one’s told me what to do. Bullets are whizzing overhead and death could arrive at any moment. Everyone around me seems to know what they’re doing, but not me. I shouldn’t be here. I’m just some guy. I sit there, paralyzed, waiting to die.

For some time now, the trenches of Battlefield 1 have been capturing the most authentic aspects of World War One. Snipers on horseback, soldiers leaping into planes from the ground, and medics that don’t heal people. But the most authentic and real to life thing might be the flying tanks. Just like the old days.

Battlefield 1's multiplayer is very intense. While the game teaches you some basics during the campaign, it doesn’t do much to explain what’s going on in the multiplayer. Don’t worry, doughboys and gals: I’m here to help!

Matthew McConaughey once said that sometimes you need to go back to move forward. The team at DICE must have been very moved by that sentiment. Taking it to heart and pushing the Battlefield series nearly 100 years back into World War I for this year’s release of Battlefield 1 was a gamble. It has largely paid off.

Being a squad leader in a Battlefield game can be intimidating. It’s hard enough worrying about your own skin when there’s tanks rolling around, mortars dropping, and baddies on the prowl. I get it. But some of you suck at doing your job.
